Sun

SUNRISE
EASTERN LIGHTS
MORNING OPENS HER EYES
BREAKING THROUGH HIDING
FROM THE TEMPORARY NIGHT
A BURNING FORCE THAT FOLLOWS A PATH
LEAVING OUR TIRED WORLD DIM
THE LIGHT WEARING THIN
BRIGHTNESS FADES INTO
WESTERN SHADE
SUNSET

Write A Sonnet

Well written words that follow a meter
Rhythm and rhyming and the pattern flows
In proper form to impress the readers
Tally the syllables in all the rows
Equal in quatrains, three different sets
And a couplet which is placed at the end
Sonnets are written and must look their best
Overlook nothing, make sure to emend
Now that you have written up to nine lines
Nearly approaching not far from fourteen
Enlighten yourself to think of a rhyme
That can wrap up all your thoughts at the seams

It's fun to write sonnets, don't you agree?
Now try to write one acrostically!
